A high-profile member of the Boko Haram sect has been arrested in the home of a senator in Maiduguri, Borno state, according to a statement from the military task force.

“A high-profile Boko Haram commander, one Shuaibu Mohammed Bama, who has been on the list of wanted terrorists … was arrested by task force troops in a serving senator’s house …,” the statement said of the arrest on Thursday.

“He is in the custody of the (task force) and assisting in the investigation and has since made startling revelations.”

In November 2011, Nigerian secret police said they had arrested an alleged Boko Haram spokesman with ties to Senator Aliyu Ndome. The alleged links however appeared to involve local politics in Nigeria’s northeast.

Nigerian authorities frequently exaggerate their efforts in arresting or cracking down on Boko Haram, which has carried out scores of bombings and shootings.

Violence linked to Boko Haram’s insurgency in northern and central Nigeria, including killings by security forces, is believed to have left more than 2,800 people dead since 2009.

i hope this is true this time

I hope the senator was arrested as well.

Senator Aliyu Ndoma Egba again? Something is fishy about this man and this dreaded sect. Either they want to ruin his political career; that is if this story is untrue but if otherwise, this man should tell Nigerians what he knew about this sect. This is the second time this man is been linked with this sect. This case should not be swept under the carpet because of the parties involved, whosoever that has hand in the death of over 2500 people including foreigners should be brought to book. There is no sacred cow this time, Nigerians and the word are watching Nigeria, the giant of Africa, which has won several awards in Africa and even the world in general, through the un peace keeping mission cannot maintain internal peace for herself. It is a pity i am ashame to be a Nigerian.

Is this news?
President Jonathan had already said Boko haram was in government. You guys must think a whole President will make statements just to be funny?
We Know those who have used Boko Haram to make Nigeria ungovernable because Buhari lost. Those people are the financiers and undertakers of the Boko haram and GEJ knows who they are.

Bros which one is Aliyu Ndoma Egba? Ndoma Egba isn't from Maiduguri, the suspected senator with links to Boko Haram is Aliyu Ndume. This report has no name of the senator attached to it, but whoever it is he should be brought to book.

Y didn't these BAS.TAR.DS name the Senator!!!! Name D SWINE!!! FOO.LS!!!

If na area boy, dem go parade, show him face 4 news...

God punish all dem Ba.st.ards, they'll all die like dogs!!!

Abeg help me tell am. It most likely to be him.

but come to think of it, I though he was convicted, abi?

I don't know why this doesn't just surprise me. Boko Haram is a creation of some powerful Northern elites for reasons best know to them.

My prayer is that the tide of killings flying everywhere in this country will not touch you and I. Amen!

Una de make mi laugh Hahaha I wonda wen una go open eye, to c wen bh de use una heads. Every time de kill one bh for here small time for de, n una go believe dem! Wait mak I ask d ppl wer de stay for ds places abi de nor de nor get phone? Una de c pic or videos to confirm ds stories?

Naija matter is getting very tiring abeg, I don't have the energy to be outraged. I bet nothing happens to the senator. People might just need to start practising jungle justice on politicians just to get a sense of justice. . .

fake news no be this shaibu bama dem kill for yobe sometimes ago. always verify before posting.

kpencheruwe: fake news no be this shaibu bama dem kill for yobe sometimes ago. always verify before posting.

My broda, like the one they killed is Habib Bama.

In the North, people use the name of their village, street, town etc as their surname.

It is not about catching a high profile member but how useful will he/she be in terms of intel.


I pray they get it right.

Mtcheeeeu!!!.

Ali Ndume is roaming the streets in affluence (supposed Boko Haram sponsor ) ...yea right!

Kabiru Sokoto, since he was taken to Abuja (he vanished into oblivion ) ...yea right!

Suleiman Ogbomosho..

Bakaka (the "one-eyed commander ) ..yea right!

Abu Qaqa?? ..

Abu-Darda?? ..


.....BULLSHIT!!

"PDP=BOKO-HARAM" ..Gen. Andrew Owoye Azazi (Former National Security Adviser)

Malam, please take your time to read and understand posts before rushing to say what your mind quickly conceives. First, the alleged Senator was not mentioned or named. So stop spreading misleading posts. Secondly, no Nigerian senator bears the above name in your post. Except if they have been "gay married" by you to bring about such name.

Oya the time for the terrorism bill to be interpreted. Or maybe he led the BH memeber to be arrested if not let the terrorism bill be read now

islam = boko haram.. (shekau, fighting for the IMPLEMENTATION OF SHARIA LAW ACROSS NIGERIA) nd we all knw sharia is islam..

We never know where we are going with Abokies in this country. But my quest is: what the government does to the senetor for hbouring a criminal?

A senator who gets paid by nigerians is killing †ЂΞ very same nigerians who pay him! Ђδω wicked can one get? ǰUsτ Ђδω wicked & devilish! Gawd! & where †ЂΞ fuckin hell r those nigeria's hypocritic activist DINO MELAYE, EL RUFAI, TUNDE BAKARE & CO, always cryin because of GEJ! Where †ЂΞ hell r those bloody nigerian musicians EDRIS ABDULKAREEM & CO who were paid to troop out & sing their useless songs because of †ЂΞ removal of fuel subsidy by GEJ? Where †ЂΞ hell r those northern political imbeciles cryin abt JFT killin innocent people? Nigeria is a very stupid country! God! Wat am i doin here?

No investigation needed to arrest others, this people are cow, nigeria already know their base , arrest and kill dem instantly, it is total war against boko haram
